It would be possible to use the packager for this purpose, but I'm not so sure it would be a great idea to do this automatically. It is a harder question than it seems to determine if a package is being uploaded for the first time (nearly everything is "new" in testing, as opposed to a verbump in extra). What could be done is a simple report showing orphan packages with their last packager, so at a glance you could see if you should be adopting anything. -Dan
